Should Kanyenda be recalled?

Picture: Esau “Black Mamba” Kanyenda. Used to play for Russia’s FC Rostov (2003-2008) but now plays for Russia’s FC Kamaz.

Allegedly and reportedly, after Guinea beat Malawi 2-1, Kinnah (Malawi Head Coach) could not believe the loss which he attributed to his strikers who missed several clear chances. “We created several chances and we would have won this game by even three or four goals but I don’t know what’s wrong with my strikers that they can’t score even when the goal keeper is not there. (Same problem with Malawi U-17?)

“We really need to sit down and see how to rectify this problem. We seriously need to change the striking force and possibly put in young players,” said a disappointed Coach (in an apparent reference to Russia based Esau Kanyenda, who had failed to score in six games?).

Reportedly, Kanyenda quit the Flames because he was fed up with being the scapegoat. You win as a team and lose as a team?

“I will never come again for Flames duty. It is normal for strikers to struggle for goals. Even Wayne Rooney goes 10 games on the trot without a goal but is never abused like that,” complained the soft-spoken after arrival from Guinea.

Kanyenda has now come out of the shell and apologized to FAM, the coach and the team and asks to be considered for future games. However, most Malawians are wary of the the apology. Most think that he wants to come back just because the Flames have revived their fortunes of qualifying for the Nations Cup Finals in Angola. Malawi almost in Angola?

In Kanyenda’s absence, Malawi beat Guinea 2-1 and almost barbequed Drogba and the Elephants.
